Laguna Phuket Golf Club

Country Clubs & Courses Guide

Formerly the Banyan Tree Golf Club, Laguna has had a facelift and a name change. All the greens have been rebuilt and reshaped, the once-flat fairways now roll and dip, strategic hazards have been added and more mature trees enhance the woodlands setting.

Rapid improvements have seen the course rated in surveys among the top 10 courses in Thailand. British tournament pro Nick Faldo is said to have been most complimentary about the course, which he played while on vacation on Phuket.

Laguna Phuket Course

With some dramatic changes, water now comes into play on 14 holes. While Laguna has been upgraded, the course is not too daunting for someone who just wants to play resort-style golf. It's relatively easily walking, although the prospect of introducing a fleet of golf carts is being considered. There are about 395 members and 209 caddies. Several new kiosks have been added and a modern electric beverage cart patrols the course dispensing drinks and cold towels.

Top holes

Hole 9
At 373 yards, is a fairly short par four. Negotiating the dogleg left opens up the spectacle of an island green, set in an ornamental pool in front of the clubhouse. The rolling fairway provides uphill and downhill lies, just to make the shot home that little bit more challenging.

Hole 17
A daunting par five at 612 yards, first snakes left, then right. Water curls across the fairway then returns to cut the turf a second time. Mounds around the target zone for the drive morph into fairway bunkers to await stray second shots, and a triangular green adds to the jigsaw of shapes.

Hole-by-Hole Review

Hole by hole full review of the course: Hole 1 - Blue 315 - White 301 - Red 285 - The first four holes pose a relatively easy start for a good golfer. This first par four swoops right, with out of bounds on the left behind a barrier of bunkers. (Read more...)
